From childhood to adulthood, Luo Zhi didn’t seem to have done anything right.... more>>

His biological parents didn’t like him. They only saw an excellent eldest brother, a caring sister, and a sensible stepson in their eyes. The sister whom is well-behaved towards everyone else, only treats him as air. The childhood friend that he grew up with would accept his gifts on the surface, only to turn around and throw it to the stray dogs on the roadside.

When he debuted as a singer, it was not gifts that he received, but countless of threatening letters scolding him for using his family background to oppress others and threatening him to quit the circle. He started his own film and television company, and spent money to hire an eighteenth-tier star to say “Happy Birthday” to him. When the little star unexpectedly exploded into the top stream, it was regarded as a robbery by fans, and it was picked up and scolded all the way to the hot search. The family accidentally fell overboard, and Luo Zhi was immersed in the bone-chilling ice cold water. He could only watch as his always indifferent eldest brother eagerly stretch out his hand to save his adopted brother.

When he was completely engulfed by the darkness, Luo Zhi finally felt that the world was really dull. If there was someone who can love him, let them appear. He wasn’t able to find them anyways.

After waking up in the hospital, he leaned back against the bed. He didn’t care current state of health nor did he care about the treatment. He was no longer interested in anything. But this time, everything was different.

His parents kept going to top hospitals and begged countless doctors just to save his life. The eldest brother’s eyes were red while he took care of him. His sister cried to the point of fainting by his bedside.

With scarlet eyes and fierce methods, he frantically took revenge on the eighteenth-tier star who slandered him at the beginning. He was inexplicably on the hot search once again, but this time the entry became #The whole world is waiting for Luo Zhi to come back#.

Later, the whole world did not wait for Luo Zhi.

However, someone familiar with the matter revealed that the Ming family, who built an entire maritime business empire and sank a top-level luxury cruise ship worth hundreds of billions of yuan, not only has another young master, but also the youngest captain who sails the world. <<less

I suspect that I’m crazy.... more>>

Crazy. Insane. Mad. However you want to put it. And I mean the type where there’s really something wrong with me, something uncontrollable and life-ruining and in my brain, in my blood, and not just that I’m a little weird or have an overdramatic, rash personality. I suspect I have schizophrenia, OCD, depression and other mental illnesses.

But there's a gangster stutterbug that won’t even take mercy on a crazy person, oh my god. Where are his morals?

–—-

Ever since I first met Xue Yaozu at the karaoke parlour where I work part-time, I started seeing him all the time. This self-proclaimed ‘old classmate’ definitely has some hidden, nefarious motive up his sleeves!

Why else would he ask about my job, where I live, and even if he can help me??? Not to mention the fact that he keeps trying to assure me that he’s not a bad guy! Sus! So sus!!!! Red alarms blaring type of sus!! <<less

Reborn back to 1995, Jiang Ning, who had just graduated from junior high school, was asked to drop out and work in the factory.
Working was not an option; Jiang Ning simply wanted to continue her education. To do so, she needed to earn enough money for high school tuition.
Looking at the crayfish crawling everywhere in the field ditch, Jiang Ning carried a cage: "Let's start getting rich by selling crayfish!"... more>>

*Wucheng had two prestigious high schools, side by side, and they had been fierce local rivals for many years. Wucheng No. 1 Middle  School had consistently outperformed Wucheng Senior High School.

Song Peifeng, as the top scorer in the Wucheng entrance exam, handsome and tall, became an unforgettable figure in the memories of numerous female students at Wucheng Senior High School.

Jiang Ning's performance in the entrance exam was not good. She barely made it into Wucheng No. 1 Middle School with the minimum admission score. However, during the first citywide joint exam, she directly surpassed the top scorer from the rival school, and from then on, in major and minor exams, as well as academic achievements, Song Peifeng couldn't overturn Jiang Ning's dominance.

Many years later, during a reunion of Wucheng Senior High School and Wucheng No. 1 Middle School alumni, they discussed the outstanding alumni of their respective schools.
Wucheng Senior High School alumni proudly mentioned their school's entrance exam top scorer, Song Peifeng. On the other hand, Wucheng No. 1 Middle School alumni highlighted their school's competition-admitted student, Jiang Ning, and recounted the achievements the two had accomplished over the years.

The alumni of the two schools, separated by a hotel screen, raised their voices to outdo each other, each vying to prove the superiority of their alma mater.
Suddenly, someone weakly raised their hand, pointing towards the entrance: "The outstanding alumni you're talking about, aren't those two holding hands at the entrance?"

My husband entered an arranged marriage with me against his will. And he hates me.... more>>

I just lived every single day as though I was dead, waiting for the day that we’d get divorced…

“The Duke… seems to have lost his memory.”

“What…?”

Then, one day, he suddenly lost his memories. To be more exact, only memories of me had been wiped clean from his mind.

And it seems like this amnesiac husband of mine somehow fell in love with me…

“My dear… I’m really, really happy that you’re my wife.”

Who is this… this puppy-like man…?

Isn’t he the same man who bares his teeth at me every time he sees me?

“Once you remember everything, you’re going to regret it all. You’re being so nice to me like this…”

“No, I won’t. Not even a little bit.”

Haa. Seriously… He talks to me so sweetly now, but this will definitely turn into a shameful past that he’d come to regret later on.

After he recovers his memories, I know for sure that my husband will finally push ahead with the divorce.

I should prepare for it in advance. <<less

Sometime after ‘Gates’ appeared in this world, humanity was divided into two: [User] and [ordinary human beings]
Lee-kyung was able to awaken into a user and choose a [Class]…but, in momentary misjudgement, chose to be a [Necromancer], the worst of all classes.... more>>

TW: Depictions of mental health <<less

That summer afternoon, spent beside the being who had become the heaviest in my world, with the verdure of the season deepening within the confines of my lone space, self-isolated from others. Solitude was no longer an option for me. A life without Woonu only promised loneliness.... more>>

I lost my family and experienced the loneliness that lingered in their absence, living a lonesome life without holding anyone close to my heart, stewing in my solitude. Loneliness and solitude cannot coexist. Only those who have chosen solitude know of this truth.

Solitude is a blank, and loneliness is a dearth that seeks to be filled. Because solitude is closer to nonpossession than it is to resignation, while loneliness is like a jar with a leaky bottom. That imperfectly solid blank of mine, built from my fleeing of loneliness, became desperate to contain a whole being.

Woonu, having felt the rain at the tip of his fingers, arm stretched beyond the eaves, suddenly straightened his legs and leaned his upper body forward.

“Huh? A green frog!”

“Where? Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?”

“There, over there! Oh, oh, it’s jumping!”

“Oh, there really is one.”

“Where did it come from? Has it always lived here?”

I quietly gazed at the side of his face, his mouth agape with a bright smile adorning it.

Where did you come from? Where did you come from for it to feel as though you’ve always been here? <<less

Cursed, she could only survive by spending the night with the upstanding paladin and famed Holy Knight Helios Defert.... more>>

But there was a fatal flaw in the plan.

First, she doesn’t get along with him.

Second, he despises her.

Thirdly, she absolutely loathes him too.

Fourth, he is tr*sh.

Enya tried to frantically find another way, but he was extremely calm.

No, rather, he looked at her with eyes filled with seductive heat.

“It’s better to do it then have to suffer.”

“… … what?”

“Shall I kiss you first, Mage Tower Master?”

At that moment, only one thought crossed Enya’s mind:

That he has finally gone insane. <<less

A blonde-haired, blue-eyed wife heavy with love, that's a wonderful thing, isn't it?... more>>

When I was in elementary school, a girl came to stay at my house for a homestay.

Being a foreigner and unable to speak Japanese well, she couldn’t possibly fit into the circle of children at school and ended up being left out, something I remember well.

So, I was the one who spent time with her. Constantly, throughout the half-year period.

On the last day, she was crying the whole time.

She wouldn't get into the car that came to pick her up, and wouldn't let go of my hand.

“Sob... If we can meet again... will you... make me your wife...?”

“Ah, of course.”

It seems that the me back then thought of it as nothing more than a casual promise.

Well, it's a sweet memory from childhood. <<less

As Olivia embraces her new life with Duke Bikander, her family and ex-fiancé desperately cling to her, begging for a love they never gave—will she forgive or forever leave them behind?... more>>

Olivia loved with all her heart, but her family and fiancé did not reciprocate her feelings. Despite her mother’s belief that sincerity will prevail if she tries her best, Olivia painfully realizes after fourteen years of unrequited love that this is not always the case. When Olivia wanted to leave and start anew, she coincidentally meets a handsome man she saw at a victory celebration for war hero Duke Bikander. The man turns out to be the Duke himself, who asks Olivia to allow him to cherish her as the most precious person in his life.

Zhou Xun had resigned himself to a life of perpetual suffering. His brother was the Emperor's beloved, the beauty mark on a tyrant's face. And he? He was a poor imitation, living in the shadow of his brother, a cheap gift sent by his brother to the Emperor as a substitute. Even his chance at the imperial examination had been ruined, and he felt abandoned by the entire world. He was the cannon fodder of a melodramatic love story, whose tragic death served to fulfill others' romances. Enough was enough.... more>>

At the palace banquet, determined to seek revenge and willing to be executed to bring down the tyrant, Zhou Xun was arrested and thrown into a dungeon. He closed his eyes, awaiting his fate.

The first day Song Yan transferred to his new school, he met his new roommate being blocked by gangsters in an alley asking to pay up a debt.... more>>

The stick in the new roommate’s hands fell, and the little gangster fled in defeat, but didn’t forget to yell in anger while running:

“Look at your little white face, if you find a wealthy woman and get rich, how can you still be afraid to pay up!”

The new roommate looked on in approval, and seemed to have realized the light: “Makes sense.”

Song Yan: “......” What kind of nonsense.

So to block his new roommate from going astray, Song Yan began the road to ruin of targeted poverty alleviation for pure and beautiful male high school students.

No money to buy dinner, so he treated him. No money for book expenses, so he sponsored it. No money for a scarf, so he took advantage of the buy one get one promotion from the store in front of the school to send him a scarf.

The eldest young master Song who already had his expenses cut off by his family had no choice but to learn to be thrifty and hardworking.

Later, his dad brought him to attend a dinner banquet: “Come, Xiao Yan, let me introduce you to grandpa Xia’s grandson, Xia Zhiye.”

Song Yan looked at the boy in front of him wearing a custom-made suit, with the worn out scarf that he dredged out from the buy one get one promotion in front of the school wrapped around his neck, and expressionlessly raised up a knife.

That night, in some male high school’s dorm room came the yell of domestic violence: “f*ck off, don’t pretend to be poor with me!”

However the target of the domestic violence patiently coaxed him: “I didn’t pretend to be poor, I’m really poor. But later on I’ll be very rich, and I’ll even give it to my boyfriend to manage, so how about you consider it again?” <<less

I wasn't able to pull him back in time, so I could only sleep at his funeral.

When I woke up, the surroundings were filled with noise.

I found myself standing in the school building from ten years ago, and someone from the next class informed me that Li Chishu was having a physical education class on the sports ground. <<less

Among dragons, the strongest dragon cried. F*ck.

I found myself transmigrated into a modern fantasy novel. As an S-rank boss monster, a dragon.

Being a dragon might seem like a decent transmigration, but this monster dies in the prologue. After fighting with the protagonist for several days, no less.

In short, I’m screwed. How can I beat the main character of a modern fantasy?

But I have to survive. Like any possessed individual, the will to survive surged within me.

With the mindset of holding onto a rope, I looked at my skills. Then, a four-letter word caught my eye.

[Polymorph]
Excited, I looked into the explanation, only to find out that polymorphing is only possible into a hatchling. Why can’t I become human?

If you’re a dragon, shouldn’t you be able to transform into a beautiful appearance to charm people around, looking all pretty and holy?

Well, at least it’s probably easier to move around than a giant body. Let’s look on the bright side.

So, I tried using polymorph, and it was incredibly cute! It could easily pass as the novel’s mascot! With just a few cute gestures, it seemed like it could completely charm all the characters inside the modern fantasy novel!

Wait, this wasn’t so bad. Rather than being a stranger, isn’t it better to be a small and cute creature?

And so, I decided to become the protagonist’s companion monster. <<less

He just hides quietly in the corner of the room every day. His cold and beautiful eyebrows are gentle and well-behaved, but they are so fragile that they seem to be broken when touched. Doctors later said he suffered from mild depression and psychogenic aphasia. According to rumors, Pei Ye, who is inhumane, took care of this poor little boy and took care of him in every possible way. Later, the whole upper circle of city A knew that there was a beautiful clinging spirit around Master Pei.

In the nineteen years before Lin Suici’s resignation, he was hesitant to walk alone in the dark. He was illegitimate child who was hated and spurned by others, and no one loved him. It was Pei Chuan who held his hand and brought him out of the darkness that saw no light. For Lin Suici, Pei Chuan is his salvation and the light in his life. What Lin Suici didn’t know was that many years ago, he was the light that pulled Pei Chuan out of the abyss. Pei Chuan gave all his gentleness and patience to his Suishui. And Suici also gave him all the trust and dependence. The first sentence Suici said again was Pei Chuan’s name.

Suici is detached and cold in front of outsiders, but only in front of Pei Chuan he will cry, act like a spoiled child, and scream at his husband with red ears. <<less
